Here is what I thought about though. Both companies have the money ” in the bank” to pay this claim. So what do they lose? Well they plan on this anyhow and the reality is, if done correctly, it is really just a marketing activity. This is your chance to jump over price and cement a relationship but instead both the paying and the non-paying company will likely negatively impact both the person who is at fault and who isn’t.

WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Baffled by the economics of this since we have already committed a lot of money to an underwriting philosophy that made this customer one that we want.

Baffled at why an industry would allow the occurrence of one claim where a person was deemed completely not at fault to override several dozen other factors.

But, then again, this is likely just another example of how having clear goals, appreciating humans and allowing morals, ethics and philosophy to blend with technology is really just the next frontier.
